write to txt file one line - antmar904 - Aug-15-2019

Hi,

I have a txt file that contains 100 ip addresses with one on each line.

Exp of txt file:

1.1.1.1
12.43.123.123
154.4.1.1
3.3.3.3

I need to read these ip address then write a string plus the ip address to a one line string.

Exp of output txt file with "ip from txt file" would be the ip from the txt file read.

"sourceIP = '1.1.1.1' or destinationIP = '1.1.1.1' or sourceIP = '12.43.123.123' or destinationIP = '12.43.123.123'"

change "/tmp/mylist.txt" to what you need

result = []
inputstring = """1.1.1.1
12.43.123.123
154.4.1.1
3.3.3.3"""
 
for line in inputstring.splitlines():
    result.append("%s %s" % ("sourceIP =", "'{}'".format(line)))

output =  '\n'.join(result)
print(output)
 
with open("/tmp/mylist.txt", 'w') as outfile:
    outfile.write(output)
Output:
sourceIP = '1.1.1.1'
sourceIP = '12.43.123.123'
sourceIP = '154.4.1.1'
sourceIP = '3.3.3.3'

Hi thank you for your help.

The string I am looking for the output.txt file is:

'sourceIP = '1.1.1.1' or destinationIP = '1.1.1.1' or sourceIP = '12.43.123.123' or destinationIP = '12.43.123.123' and so on and so on.
This seems to be working for me.

Any suggestions on how to improve this code?

Thanks again!

filehandle = open("C:\Temp\S2S.txt", 'r')
ips = filehandle.read()
filehandle.close()

x = ""
for i in ips.split('\n'):
    x += "sourceIP = '" + i + "' or destinationIP = '" + i + "' " + "or "

writehandle = open("C:\Temp\output2.txt", 'w')
writehandle.write(x)
writehandle.close()

Then you get "or" on the end of the line. you can remove it after splitlines

x = ""
for i in ips.splitlines():
    x += "%s %s %s %s %s" % ("sourceIP =", "'{}'".format(i), "or destinationIP =", "'{}'".format(i), "or")
k = x.rfind("or")
x = x[:k] + "" + x[k+2:]
